Factorio has never been on sale and will (probably) never be on sale
I never used beacons because they forced you to trade interesting gameplay for performance.
I only use them for oil outposts when they are running dry
My designs have never been good enough to optimize much. I just scale out instead.
They make for an interesting design challenge at first. Until you start reusing the same design over and over again
Letting people play ‘tall’ is great, but the current implementation stifles creativity.
